Butorphanol withdrawal can be a painful process, particularly after heavy use.

Symptoms of Butorphanol withdrawal can include unpleasant psychotomimetic effects in some people, body aches, leg kicking, sweating, anxiety, irritability, depression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, runny nose, chills, increased blood pressure, insomnia, dehydration, convulsions, and fever. All of these symptoms can be quite pronounced, causing the patient to experience such intense pain and suffering that a "cold turkey" withdrawal is unbearable, causing the patient to continue their drug use.

If you are using opiate drugs to control pain and feel you are using more and more to get the same pain relief, you may be suffering from a common condition caused from opiate drug use; read about this condition called Hyperalgesia. Also, read about hormones and how the chronic use of opiate drugs can decrease the bodies ability to produce the proper amount of testosterone and estrogen.

We would never use other replacement addicting opiates, often prescribed by physicians and detox centers, such as Suboxone®/Subutex (Buprenorphine) or injectable Buprenorphine. These schedule III controlled opiate drugs are routinely and widely used and approved by the FDA for opiate addiction maintenance, like Methadone. Many patients find themselves in the same situation as they were before drug treatment from a doctor or a drug rehabilitation center. We have heard of some in-patient rehab centers also using schedule II controlled liquid Hydrocodone and Dilaudid "cocktails". Patients soon realize these replacement drugs cause severe withdrawal once they are discharged from these programs. This causes the patient to seek opiates for relief from the severe discomfort of a Buprenorphine withdrawal. The use of these drugs for treatment of opiate addiction is merely switching one opiate drug for another, setting the patient up for failure. This does not solve the patient's drug addiction problem. As use of these drugs become more common, we are seeing a steady increase of requests for an anesthesia detox from patients addicted to Suboxone®/Subutex (Buprenorphine). We can guarantee that our patients are 100% clean and free of any opiate drug after the RDD Method® and with RDD's Naltrexone Therapy used as a pellet/implant, injectable "IM" shot or the oral pill form, the patient will stay clean and cravings will be eliminated.
